Hangover cure? New Year Resolution..

When you look back at 2008 do you have tinges of regret about New Year resolutions broken and not achieving all that you wanted for yourself and others?

Are you looking for a way to shake off the hangover of self-indulgence and start out in 2009 with the needs of others firmly in the frame?

Then we have what we think is a cracking New Year idea just for you. Why not sponsor a child as a New Year Resolution? You can set up the direct debit now online (you don't even need your bank address, just account number and sort code) and you don't have to remember to do anything, we will do the rest. And every day throughout the year even when you don't achieve much in your own life you'll be doing a good turn to an orphan via your child sponsorship. They will grow towards independence and you'll get updates from time to time on how they are doing. If you do get the less hectic year you deserve, you could write to them or even visit them.

People say the only way to true happiness is to make someone else really happy. We say few things can match the satisfaction of helping a child alone with no one for them grow up in love with an education and a future. Why not sponsor a child now?

You can choose from over a hundred countries to sponsor a child with SOS Children and no deductions are made from your sponsorship toward UK admin or fundraising costs.
